mitt romney who lost. the country said no to mitt romney, but they so no, no, no republican senate candidates. it was a catastrophe. who was to blame for that? there is a named person in charge of making sure republicans win senate seats. there's somebody in charge of that. and that specific person in this election obviously failed cat strofically. that person is john cornyn. today the republican party appears ready to respond to his atrocious failure at this job this week. by giving mr. cornyn a promotion. he's getting a reward for nearly shooting the moon in the senate. for doing as abomination of desolation as humanly possible at the last job the republican party gave him. the republican party moving forward, would like him to be the number two republican behind mitch mcconnell. that's called failing up, which is amazing on its own terms. but we should also wonder if that's instructive for how the republican party is going to deal with the overall question of who their leader is and what they stand for.

romney has a 39-point gap. pew's last poll understated the degree to which john mccain was going to lose latinos. and their last poll this year is projecting a 39-point loss for romney. in another poll, the decisions poll out ahead of the election a couple days ago shows an even worse result. pew has romney down by 39 points. latino decisions has him down by 49 points. 13 points worse than john mccain did when john mccain lost badly. so yes, this race is close. the polls say president obama is likely to win even though it's going to be close. if you're curious, the reason they think they might not lose is because of who they think will actually vote. who will be able to vote and have their vote counted? they are counting on electorate choosing the president that turns back time in terms of how white the country really is. here's my question, though. even if that works tomorrow, is that really a plan for the future? joining us now is frank rich, new york magazine's writer at large. it's great to have you here. >

romney is winning independents. so there. romney has this thing in the bag. carl rove, for the republicans this year, he took to "the wall street journal" this week to patiently explain to the people who don't understand that these numbers that look so bad for mr. romney do not matter or they are wrong. or they are wrong and they don't matter. because he says democrats are not winning early voting by enough. and he says the polls make assumptions about turnout that he describes as absurd. it also describes some stuff that makes him believe romney is going to win like crowd size and closing arguments. that shows that mitt romney is totally going to win this thing. both are trying to convince the country it's obvious they are going to win. it's worth listening to the arguments and checking to see if the arguments are based in good sense. but honestly, it's also worth recognizing that every campaign on both sides does this every time. for example, here is how this particular phenomenon looked the day before the election in 2008 when this bragging that we get eve
